Correction. Make that two packages that are broken on #Python 3.14: #frogmouth & #posting

Frogmouth's got an old httpx dependency to update and I've got an issue open with them.

github.com/Textualize/frogmout

Posting's got an issue with Py03's max supported version. Just a matter of waiting, I guess.

Almost feeling productive today with these little side quests. 😆

When opening frogmouth with Python 3.14.0rc1, I get the following traceback: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/kbowen/.local/bin/frogmouth", line 5, in <module> from frogmouth.app.app ...

Ich bin ja dafür dass alle Leute die #IllegaleGrenzkontrollen bemerken unter

So, I'm (still) looking for work (senior Python backend developer with experience at a lot of other things, if you're curious). And the job postings I'm looking at bear a noticeable difference from the last time I had to actively look for a job a few years back.

I keep seeing stuff that's anywhere between borderline-unethical and inarguably-unethical-bordering-on-illegal.

An example I saw today was for a back-end developer. They didn't outright say it, but I got the impression they're building an "AI" model, or possibly selling training material to those that do. The "must-haves" for the position included wording to the effect of "extensive experience defeating anti-scraping measures".

Twenty years ago, that posting would have been on the dark web; actively working to defeat website operators / content owners protections of their web content? And today, that's just perfectly fine to put in a listing on a major job site?

Have the ethics of my industry slipped into the sewer in the last five years, and I just didn't notice until now?

I am confused. When I write a new post with TWBlue, it shows as Public. But when I reply to it, it shows as Unlisted. What does that mean? I am certain I can change this, either in TWBlue or on Blob.cat. I think it may have something to do with whether it appears in timelines or not, but I'm not sure. If so, then my reply with the tags to the other post was pointless. I either need to delete the whole post and rewrite it with the tags, or edit it to include said tags, assuming it will work that way.
